Features

What it does

  • Chromatic detection using the watch microphone, so any note and any alternate tuning works
  • High-contrast display readable on a dark stage or in bright sun
  • Works for guitar, bass, ukulele and bowed strings
  • No iPhone connection required at any point during use

Do I need my iPhone?

Not while you are using it. This is a standalone watchOS app: it runs on the Apple Watch on its own, with the phone switched off or left behind. You do need an iPhone once, to purchase and install it — that is an App Store rule rather than anything about this app.

FAQ

Questions

Something else? Ask me directly .

Is the Apple Watch microphone accurate enough to tune with?

For standard tuning at normal playing volume, yes. In a loud room, mute other sources and play a single string firmly - the same thing you would do with any microphone tuner.

Does it need my iPhone nearby?

No, it works standalone. That is the entire point of it.

Can I tune to something other than A440?

It detects notes chromatically, so alternate and drop tunings work without configuration.

Does it work with a clip-on pickup?

No, it listens through the watch microphone. Acoustic sound is what it needs.
